En un escenario global donde el turismo suele comunicarse desde la lógica de la promoción, la Organización Mundial de Periodismo Turístico (OMPT) propone desde hace quince años un cambio de paradigma: pensar y ejercer el periodismo turístico como una práctica cultural, ética y socialmente responsable. A diferencia de otras organizaciones del sector, que funcionan principalmente como redes de prensa o asociaciones de difusión, la OMPT se define como un movimiento internacional

Over these fifteen years of sustained work, the World Travel Journalism Organization has built a collective memory made of roads, rivers, cities, jungles, rituals, and human encounters. It is not just about the destinations visited, but about experiences lived from a professional, ethical, and sensitive perspective, where travel becomes a tool for cultural understanding. Here are fifteen experiences that have marked travel journalists from different countries and that today f

Para María Ulivi, el turismo no es solo un desplazamiento geográfico ni una industria económica: es, ante todo, un espacio de encuentro humano. Su recorrido en el periodismo turístico nace desde la experiencia concreta, desde el hacer, desde el territorio, y se consolida con una convicción profunda: las historias de las personas son el corazón de todo destino. Su primer contacto con el turismo fue como microempresaria en la provincia de San Luis, Argentina, donde vivió desde

The World Travel Journalism Organization is launching the sixth edition of the International Certification in Travel Journalism with a focus on neuroscience , which will be taught by Magister Miguel Ledhesma, one Saturday per month from March to July 2026, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (Argentina time).

Over the past few years, the figure of the influencer became one of the great cultural symbols of the digital era. Millions of followers, inspirational speeches, carefully curated aesthetics, and emotional narratives took center stage. However, something now seems to be changing. From astrology,understood here as a symbolic tool for reading the spirit of the times,this shift has a clear explanation: we are closing a cycle of idealization and entering one of action and cohere

Héctor Reinoso Gallo built his professional identity at the intersection of architecture, design, and journalism, with a sensitive perspective focused on people, territories, and the stories that inhabit them. His path toward travel journalism was neither linear nor immediate; rather, it was the result of a natural evolution that combined technical expertise, visual communication, and a deep curiosity about travel as a transformative experience. The decisive turning point cam

Rosario Ortiz Conde’s path to travel journalism was neither linear nor planned. Like many profound transformations, it emerged during a period of forced stillness and inner searching. In early 2020, when the world was going through one of the most uncertain times in its recent history, an unexpected invitation appeared on her computer screen: a Travel Journalism course taught by the Argentine magister Miguel Ledhesma. That moment marked a before and after in her life. Althoug

Mónica Santi’s journey in travel journalism began through exploration. Before the microphone and the words, there were journeys across her own country, careful observation, and the need to tell stories often left out of traditional narratives. Local histories, myths and legends, biographies of notable figures, music, and the unique character of each place were the starting point of a vocation that saw tourism as a profound cultural expression. Tourism revealed itself to her a

Debora Ruiz’s first steps in journalism were not connected to tourism or the stories of roads and landscapes that now define her work. She began in a field that she would later feel was distant from her interests: institutional press. Filling in for a friend in the Communications Department of the Ministry of Economy, she had her first professional experience. There, she learned the dynamics of the profession, but also something fundamental: she quickly realized she didn’t wa

Florencia Cuneo did not enter travel journalism through a classical vocation or the usual path of someone chasing destinations, landscapes, or trends. Her entry into this field arises from a deeper, structural concern: the nutrition of populations and the way the global food system has been rapidly deteriorating the quality of what ends up on plates in different regions of the world. At the intersection of food, territory, and culture, travel journalism appears to her as a st

On the occasion of its fifteen-year trajectory, the World Travel Journalism Organization has visited more than a hundred hotels across Latin America and the Caribbean, as part of over twenty fampress trips and professional experiences organized throughout its history.

Héctor Reinoso Gallo construyó su identidad profesional en la intersección entre la arquitectura, el diseño y el periodismo, con una mirada sensible puesta en las personas, los territorios y las historias que los habitan. Su camino hacia el periodismo turístico no fue lineal ni inmediato, sino el resultado de una evolución natural que combinó experiencia técnica, comunicación visual y una profunda curiosidad por el viaje como experiencia transformadora. El punto decisivo lleg
